CONGRESS CASTS THE FIRST STONE

.

.

Suddenly showing profound concern for the bloody US/Iranian proxy in Yemen they’d been briefed on every week for the last 2 years, the Senate swamp today advanced a resolution that would end U.S. military support for the Saudi-led campaign against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.

The White House, knowing the Dims and their RINO brethren smelled blood in the water, launched an eleventh-hour lobbying frenzy to try to head off momentum for the resolution, even sending Defense Secretary Mad Dog Mattis and Secretary of State Pompeo to Capitol Hill in the morning and issuing a veto threat less than an hour before the vote started.

Alas, the resolution passed anyway, though the 63-37 final tally leaves it just short of veto-proof. Leading the pearl-clutching charge was perpetual foreign policy loser and Iran Deal backer Liddle Bob Corker, who was all too happy to look down on PDT from atop his moral high horse.

“There’s been a lot of rhetoric that’s come from the White House and from the State Department on this issue,” said Corker, whose position as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee makes him an especially annoying thorn in PDT’s side. “The rhetoric that I’ve heard and the broadcasts that we’ve made around the world as to who we are have been way out of balance as it relates to American interests and American values.”

You hear that, folks? The chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee was completely unaware that we dealt with unsavory characters until now. So this begs the question: is Corker merely a disingenuous politician looking to seize on a political issue for revenge on his way our of the door against a POTUS he hates, or is he just that grossly incompetent/uninformed?

I’d say it’s primarily the former with a dash of the latter for good measure.

.

Now that the vote has advanced out of the Foreign Relations Committee, it’s available for action before the full Senate.

This isn’t the first time the Swamp has attempted to intervene in the Yemeni situation, as #CrazyBernie Sanders, Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Mike Lee (R-Friggin Utah, of course) pushed it this past March but fell 6 votes short. That bill, along with this one, would require PDT to remove troops in or “affecting” Yemen within 30 days.

Since the actual fighting is being done by Saudi troops (with the exception of a few isolated special ops missions for high value targets), the troops in question would mostly be in support roles; intel, logistics, etc.

Whether Iran is able to continue the momentum it was given by the Obama administration by gaining a foothold in Yemen is of no consequence to the all-wise, all-knowing Senators on the Hill. Rather, the important thing to remember here is the Saudis killed one of their mortal enemies, a Muslim Brotherhood member who wrote some crappy opinion pieces for WaPo.

“In my mind it is imperative today that the United States Senate tell Saudi Arabia and tell the world that we are not going to be continuing to be part of that humanitarian disaster,” said #CrazyBernie. “We have to make the decision as to what happens in the war in Yemen and our role in that, and that’s what the vote today is about.”

I don’t know about y’all, but when I think about who should be making decisions on how to handle America’s enemies, the first guy to pop in my mind is Bernie Sanders.

.

BIG PICTURE:

.

The next Senate vote on the measure is….well, who the hell knows. The Senate is expected to delay any additional votes related to the resolution until next week as they work through previously scheduled nomination votes. And senators are reportedly privately discussing amending the resolution on the Senate floor, which means rabid anti-Trumpers like Jeff Flake and Bob Corker could spring literally anything on us at the last minute.

Here is the bottom line, my fellow Americans. The Saudis are about as imperfect as you can expect of a Middle Eastern country. I wish everyone there were a Jeffersonian Republican, but guess what, that world doesn’t exist. In the world that does exist, though, Saudis have built and are (successfully) operating a brand new international terrorism finance tracking center, partnering with Israel — yes, I said ISRAEL — to combat the rise of Iran, and they’re doing it all while buying our equipment. They’re not only fighting our enemies in Yemen, they’re essentially paying us for the privilege. That’s the benefit of having a mutual enemy.

So yes, it may sound crude and heartless, but to suspend relations with the Saudis right now over what amounts to an internal matter would be insanely stupid.

Whether we like it or not, the presidency of Barack Obama was an abject disaster for the U.S. across the world, I’d argue by design. And a big part of that disaster was the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as Barry was so fond of calling them as he filled their coffers with enough cash to fund terrorism in the region and world for years to come.

.

Iran’s rise has naturally made the Saudis very concerned, since the two countries are mortal enemies and everyone knows Iran wants the bomb.

.

You know what happens when fact sets such as those come together? Arms races. You know what will happen if we don’t work with the Saudis to mitigate the Iranian threat? They’ll go looking for nukes, too.

.

The world is not a simple place, nor is it anything resembling pretty.

.

Unfortunately, D.C. and the media are willing to completely forego nuance in the interest of expelling the foreign object that has plagued the Establishment since its arrival in January 2017: Donald J. Trump.

.

But unfortunately for D.C. (and fortunately for the American people), Donald J. Trump doesn’t buckle at the first sound of pearls being clutched.

.

He’s a real guy operating in the real world, and our moral superiors are just going to have to deal with it.

BUNCHA MEXICAN RACISTS

.

.

There’s a funny thing about reality. No matter the issue, and despite the heartiest efforts of the #FakeNewsCrew to obscure it with omissions, lies and outright propaganda, it has a way of shining through.

The latest beam of disinfecting sunlight comes to us from south of the border.

A new poll by El Universal, a Mexican newspaper, found that a majority of Mexicans aren’t huge fans of the migrant caravan that has helped themselves to their country en route to an attempt to help themselves to ours.

It turns out that Mexicans have their own cities and towns and don’t particularly appreciate it when thousands of fake refugees descend upon them as they wait their turn to game our system.

The El Universal poll found that 70% of Mexicans have a negative view of the caravan. Further, 52% support blocking migrants from entering the country without documentation and 55% think President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador should be tougher on future caravans.

.

Contrary to the claims of migration experts such as CNN’s Jim Acosta, the caravan has brought a lot of undesirable aspects along with it into Tijuana, such as crime, loitering, littering and, yes, violence, which has caused area schools to shut down.

This past Sunday, a group of poor downtrodden refugees from the ______ War attempted to overwhelm our security forces and found out the hard way that the rules of engagement have changed since the previous administration; that hard lesson coming in the form of tear gas deployments.

It was a light sentence, truth be told, considering rocks had been thrown at our border patrol and PDT himself ordered our guys to treat rocks as weapons.

.

BIG PICTURE:

.

As I’ve explained previously, the frustration in Tijuana will likely gets worse before it gets better. The main reason being, we’re actually winning at the border this time.

The Trump administration has reimplemented the practice of “metering.”

That means they’re limiting the number of asylum seekers allowed to enter the US each day — the number currently sitting at 30. Also, no asylum seeker will be taken unless there is detention space for him/her. No bunk, no entry. Period.

This has caused a backlog on the Mexican side of the border that began before the caravan even arrived but has now been greatly exacerbated with no end in sight.

We don’t say how long the wait will be. And there’s no official way for fake refugees to hold their spot or secure an appointment, no guarantee that they’ll ever be allowed to cross.

And so fake refugees wait for days, weeks or (increasingly) months: sometimes in migrant shelters whose capacity has stretched to the breaking point, sometimes on bridges, sleeping on the street or myriad other public venues.

Jumping the immigration line has actually become — *GASP* — an inconvenience to line-jumpers!

No, it’s not as good as a #BigBeautifulWall, but its getting the job done for now. The message has to be sent that it’s just not worth it to try sneaking into our country illegally. We’re starting to reverse the damage that was done by PDT caving to Ivanka’s tears and ending his zero tolerance policy at the border earlier this year, but it will take a while.

It’s a start, though. Hundreds and possibly thousands of migrants have already checked out and gone back home according to multiple reputable outlets with many more close to following their lead.

Let’s keep that trend going, PDT. This is the one issue your base will not give much wiggle room on. Stay tough.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

.

.

A wise man once told his readers to always assume that PDT is working with more information than he lets on, because it puts him in an advantageous position against his enemies.

I’ll save you the suspense: that wise man was totally me.

Conspiracy icon and (ironic) target of an actual conspiracy Jerome Corsi revealed today that his lawyer has been passing information to the Trump legal team regarding King Bob Mueller’s probe the entire time Corsi has been in the special counsel’s crosshairs.

That follows yesterday’s revelation that the legal team for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been doing the exact same thing — passing along info to the Team Trump in almost real time as Mueller attempts to “flip” them against PDT. Manafort, who prosecutors charge has lied to them despite an arrangement to provide information — repeatedly briefed PDT on the course of the Mueller investigation after every dirty little trick.

Did you really think PDT wouldn’t have an info pipeline set up to keep tabs on you, Bob? Maybe you’re not as smart as I thought.

.

Apparently he really is that dumb, as the Failing New York Times is reporting that King Bob is none too happy about this latest revelation, citing sources as saying the Manafort arrangement with Trump’s lawyers “was highly unusual and inflamed tension with Mr. Mueller’s office when prosecutors discovered it after Mr. Manafort began cooperating two months ago.”

The report added: “Such information could help shape a legal defense strategy, and it also appeared to give Mr. Trump and his legal advisers ammunition in their public relations campaign against the special counsel’s office.”

.

If Mueller is pissed about this, just imagine how he would feel if his lawyer’s offices were raided just because of political affiliation. This is only a tiny taste of what the Almighty King deserves.

.

But I digress.

.

The news that not one but two potential witnesses for the prosecution, Manafort and Corsi, were both independently feeding information to PDT’s lawyers means PDT has enjoyed a clear window into Mueller’s investigation for months.

.

Sorry, but that is hilarious.

.

Every little underhanded tactic, every interrogation by Mueller’s pitbull Andrew Weismann, every perjury trap laid out to provide leverage for a “flip”…..every bit of it happened under the watchful eye of The Donald.

.

If that doesn’t make you crack a smile, you don’t have an American bone in your body.

Corsi explained today how the whole agreement came about.

“I’ve known [Trump attorney] Jay Sekulow for a long time,” he said. “Through a third party, Jay was willing to take [Corsi attorney] David Gray’s call.

“David called him, and Jay proposed we could enter into a mutual defense agreement. It took me a couple days to think about it. This might upset the special counsel, certainly the special counsel is going to find out about it….

“I thought on it for a couple days and I said to David, ‘Look, call back Jay Sekulow and tell him we’re going to enter into that agreement, because if the president of the United States wants to enter into a legal mutual defense agreement with me, I think we’d be damned fools to refuse it.”

Now for the real story:

PDT got wind that Corsi was in Mueller’s crosshairs, he ordered Sekulow to make contact with Corsi’s legal team, and the HUMINT (human intelligence) asset was established. The same likely happened with Manafort, although Manafort is a great deal brighter than Corsi so it could have feasibly originated from Manafort’s side of the house.

.

.

WHAT DID CORSI DO, ANYWAY?

.

Much like everyone else involved in this Russia collusion saga, Corsi didn’t commit any actual crimes, but the FBI caught him in what appears to be a lie over the course of interrogation, which itself is a crime. It’s the “process crime’ we’ve been discussing for the last 2 years. When Mueller’s team can’t catch a guy for actually breaking the law, they find an inconsistency in their interviews with federal agents and then charge them with lying. It’s the exact same thing they did to General Flynn and George Papadopoulos.

Once a person is backed into a corner on the lying charge, they become vulnerable to flipping against PDT in order to save their own skin. The only person they’ve had real success with in this regard is Michael Cohen, although we don’t yet know to what extent. What we do know is Cohen is spineless and will say anything to get into King Bob’s good graces, so buckle up.

As far as Corsi is concerned, according to the not-yet-filed statement of offense, Roger Stone emailed Corsi on July 25, three days after WikiLeaks published the first batch of hacked DNC emails, and told him to “get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending [WikiLeaks] emails.”

Corsi reportedly told investigators that he rebuffed Stone’s request, but prosecutors had evidence showing that Corsi in fact forwarded Stone’s request to Ted Malloch, a conservative commentator in London. Malloch was also subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury earlier this year.

Eight days later, on August 2, Corsi touched base with Stone to tell him about the upcoming document dump. “Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps,” Corsi reportedly wrote to Stone.

Corsi was obviously referring to Assange, who has been holed up at the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012. “One shortly after I’m back. 2nd in Oct,” Corsi wrote. “Impact planned to be very damaging.”

A little over two weeks later, on August 21, Stone tweeted that Hillary campaign manager John Podesta would “soon” be targeted.

On October 7, WikiLeaks published a damaging batch of emails belonging to Podesta.

According to prosecutors said between January 13, 2017, and March 1, 2017, Corsi deleted all emails from his computer that were sent or received before October 11, 2016. They included his correspondences with Stone and Malloch.

Well whaddayaknow……the FBI is suddenly concerned with deleted emails! It’s amazing just how many things the Swamp finds itself in a deep panic over these days.

.

Corsi says that his knowledge of the upcoming Wikileaks dumps were borne of good old fashioned logical analysis. Obviously, that story seems less than genuine. While it could be reasonably assumed by the average observer that Assange had more dumps coming, the specificity of numbers and general timeframe given reveal at least some level of inside info.

What that doesn’t do, however, is make Corsi a partner of Russian intelligence in hacking an American presidential campaign. At most, it makes him one of the 9 gajillion people who were speculating/trying to get info on what Wikileaks had coming down the pipe. It’s how he made his living, after all.

His deletion of and subsequent lying about those emails is a crime, however, so Corsi has somewhat made his own bed in that regard. And that’s why Mueller was so steamed to find out about Corsi’s info-sharing deal with the Trump team. Mueller thought they had Corsi in a vulnerable position and the whole thing was being monitored by PDT the entire time.

Again…..LOL.

As I’ve said repeatedly over the past few months, the fact that Mueller has been relegated to nailing guys on process crimes in the hopes of getting them to cooperate in other ways shows that they have next to nothing in terms of the actual reason Mueller was ever appointed — Russian collusion.

.

Opposition research is not illegal. They could have emails from Corsi, Stone, Manafort and every other person ever even remotely connected with the Trump campaign praising Assange for his work, predicting the exact date of the next email dump and renting an airplane banner celebrating Hillary’s downfall at the hands of Wikileaks and there wouldn’t be a single thing King Bob could do about it.

.

You want to hear an even crazier story about opposition research? This chick named Hillary Clinton hired a law firm, who in turn hired a smear firm named Fusion GPS, who in turn produced a document reportedly straight from Russian intelligence, which was then used to justify FISA surveillance on the Trump campaign?

.

HOW ABOUT THAT RUSSIAN COLLUSION STORY, KING BOB?

.

Has the farcical nature of this entire saga come full circle for you yet?

.

To Corsi’s credit, he has declined to take any plea deals from Mueller, and says he’s doing it as a matter of conscience.

“I made my decision to reject the plea agreement on moral grounds,” he said today. “I felt like they were asking me to swear to a lie, and I wasn’t going to do that on a Bible in front of a federal judge for moral reasons, religious reasons.

“I felt what they were asking in the plea deal was criminally fraudulent, and I wasn’t going to do it. Now, if I have to go to jail for the rest of my life because I won’t commit a sin or a crime, so be it.

“If the United States of America has come to that point, then probably I need to be in prison — I’m not doing those things.”

Corsi also disclosed that he’s preparing to file a criminal complaint against King Bob and the DOJ as a whole, which he says is “now being run by criminals.”

“They are political criminals and the way they treated me proves that.”

“I am preparing to file a criminal complaint against Mueller and the Department of Justice which will be delivered to [Acting U.S. attorney General Matt] Whitaker as soon as it’s written up.”

“This is prosecutorial misconduct written in spades,” Corsi said, “in all the capital letters you can find, underlined a thousand times, with 10,000 exclamation points after it.

“These guys are political criminals and they should be all locked up.”’

Hear, hear.

Unfortunately, his criminal complaint will likely go nowhere, since the conduct of Mueller’s thugs — while definitely immoral — isn’t illegal. Although it really ought to be.

.

BIG PICTURE:

.

I’ll make this short and sweet: Bob Mueller has jack squat in terms of Russian collusion, obstruction of justice or any of the other nonsense excuses they’ve tried as a means to bring down PDT.

They’ve been reduced to threatening a 70+ year old man for not disclosing that he forwarded an email about something that isn’t even a crime. That’s what 2 years and $30 million dollars has gotten us.

I’m so happy that PDT has had his eye on these jerks for months. They all deserve to hang, but I’m willing to accept utter and complete public humiliation as a consolation prize.

MORE MANNA FROM HEAVEN

.

.

Many of you know that I struggle with depression and have for quite a while.

What many of you don’t know, however, is that I’m on the cusp of being completely cured thanks to a new miracle drug: the complete karmic destruction of Michael Avenatti’s life!

For the umpteenth time in the last couple weeks, Avenatti has been on the losing end of a rather large news story, and this one might just be the one that does him in, as it involves his main meal ticket.

Stormy Daniels has come forward with some information that suggests Mr. Avenatti may not be the straight-shooting, woman-respecting, Gospel-preaching choir boy we were all led to believe. (Author’s note: If that sarcasm wasn’t thick enough to set off your detector, just leave now because you’re going to have a tough time here).

.

For example, do you remember that defamation case Avenatti brought against PDT in Daniels’ name? The one he lost so badly that the judge ordered him to pay PDT’s legal fees? Stormy says Avenatti did that against her wishes.

If a lawyer brought a lawsuit I explicitly said I didn’t want, I’d fire him on the spot. But again, I realize that pimp/whore relationships operate differently.

That may not have been Avenatti’s worst offense, though. According to Stormy, Mikey boy also started a new fundraising site to raise money for her legal defense fund without even telling her. I’ll let you take a wild guess as to whether he was upfront regarding the money that had been taken in.

Here is her full statement:

“I was a simple small-town whore just living my dream of entertaining thousands of weiners daily before this slick L.A. lawyer showed up and wrecked my life.”

“For months I’ve asked Michael Avenatti to give me accounting information about the fund my supporters so generously donated to for my safety and legal defense. He has repeatedly ignored those requests. Days ago I demanded again, repeatedly, that he tell me how the money was being spent and how much was left. Instead of answering me, without my permission or even my knowledge Michael launched another crowdfunding campaign to raise money on my behalf. I learned about it on Twitter.”

Note to Michael Avenatti: whores have social media, too.

The statement continues:

“I haven’t decided yet what to do about legal representation moving forward. Michael has been a great advocate in many ways. I’m tremendously grateful to him for aggressively representing me in my fight to regain my voice. But in other ways Michael has not treated me with the respect and deference an attorney should show to a client. He has spoken on my behalf without my approval. He filed a defamation case against Donald Trump against my wishes. He repeatedly refused to tell me how my legal defense fund was being spent. Now he has launched a new crowdfunding campaign using my face and name without my permission and attributing words to me that I never wrote or said. I’m deeply grateful to my supporters and they deserve to know their money is being spent responsibly. I don’t want to hurt Michael, but it’s time to set the record straight. The truth has always been my greatest ally.”

Sorry, I have to take a second to laugh at that last line. Okay, let’s finish this thing off…..errrrrr……give it a happy ending…..errrrrrr……YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL I MEAN. LET’S FINISH THE STATEMENT:

“My goal is the same as it has always been—to stand up for myself and take back my voice after being bullied and intimidated by President Trump and his minions. One way or another I’m going to continue in that fight, and I want everyone who has stood by me to know how profoundly grateful I am for their support.”

“I am and have always been Stormy’s biggest champion. I have personally sacrificed an enormous amount of money, time and energy toward assisting her because I believe in her. I have always been an open book with Stormy as to all aspects of her cases and she knows that. The retention agreement Stormy signed back in February provided that she would pay me $100.00 and that any and all other monies raised via a legal fund would go toward my legal fees and costs. Instead, the vast majority of the money raised has gone toward her security expenses and similar other expenses. The most recent campaign was simply a refresh of the prior campaign, designed to help defray some of Stormy’s expenses.”

One would think that a guy who was just spending money on security expenses would have no issue telling his client that pertinent fact. Why, if I didn’t know any better, I’d think this Avenatti guy was a sociopathic liar.

.

BIG PICTURE:

.

The hits keep on comin’ for Avenatti.

In the past few months he’s been ordered to pay nearly $400K in Trump’s legal fees, evicted from his own law offices for failing to pay rent, arrested for felony domestic violence, exposed as a multimillion dollar tax cheat and now, finally, shown to be a complete con man by the poor little “sex worker” he purported to defend.

There’s an old saying that if you aim at the king, you best not miss. Well, Avenatti must have missed by something like 50 miles, because holy crap has his life turned into a flaming turd tornado.

The Trump Curse is real, folks.
